Dear friends,
 
Today we share the first half of a talk given by Brother Phap Ho at this year's Wake Up retreat for young adults. Our brother shares about his early childhood heroes and how, for him, heroism is different from what's portrayed in popular media. We can be heros for the ordinary things we do in extraordinary ways. For more on the Wake Up movement and to find a local sangha, go to <a style="color: #1155cc;" href="http://wkup.org/" target="_blank">wkup.org</a>. 
 
Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
